ORIGIN

This 1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet is reportedly one of just 2,008 built over a 4-year production run and is finished in Slate Grey Metallic over a black leather interior. The car resided in Arizona from 1994-2004 and stayed with its previous longterm owner on Long Island, New York between 2004-2015. The Missouri-based seller has added less than 1,000 of the 82k indicated miles since his 2015 purchase. Power comes from a 3.0L M44 inline-four paired with a 6-speed manual transaxle. A new fabric top was installed in 2016 and a PPI was conducted in September 2017 along with replacement of the engine mounts and front control arm bushings. This 968 Cabriolet is offered with a clean Carfax, partial service records, a recent PPI, owner’s books, and a clean Missouri title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in Slate Grey Metallic (L22D), and a recent PPI noted that most of the exterior has likely been repainted. No accidents or repairs are shown in the Carfax. Cosmetic blemishes include a small area of paint loss and chips on the lower air dam, a ding aft of the left headlight, orange peel on the left rear quarter, and scuffs on the right side of the rear bumper cover. A number of exterior close-ups can be seen in the gallery below.

Staggered-width Cup Design 1 wheels measure 16″ in diameter and wear older Falken tires in need of replacement as noted in the PPI. Flip-up headlights are shown in the raised position in gallery photographs. A new fabric top was installed by the seller in 2016 and is protected by a canvas cover when lowered. The seller states that the power folding mechanism has been disabled, though the top can reportedly be unlocked with an included tool and operated manually.

The cabin is trimmed in black and equipped with a power driver’s seat and cruise control among other factory equipment. The original Becker head unit has been replaced with a Kenwood CD player. The air conditioning system is noted to work well. Just over 82k miles are indicated, with around 700 added by the seller.

Leather-clad seats show bolster creasing and tears at the rear of the driver-side bottom cushion. No rear seats were equipped on the US-market 968. The carpeted parcel shelf and glovebox storage compartments are pictured in the gallery. The seller notes two small cracks on the passenger-side dash that do not show up in photographs.

The trunk floor is pictured above along with the factory collapsible spare and air compressor. Pictures of the trunk mats can be seen in the gallery.

The 3.0L M44/43 inline-four features VarioCam induction and was rated at 240 horsepower when new. A rear-mounted 6-speed manual transaxle sends power to the wheels. A PPI conducted in September 2017 by GLB Motorworks in St. Louis, Missouri noted that the water pump and timing belt appeared to be replacements, though no supporting paperwork is available. The engine mounts were also replaced in 2017, and service printouts show replacement of the clutch, knock sensors, and power steering pump from 2008-2012.

Additional pictures of the underside can be seen in the gallery below. The front control arm bushings were replaced during the September 2017 service.

Owner’s books, a dealer directory, and a Kenwood manual are included. A recent Carfax is shown in the gallery and lists an accident free history in Arizona, New York, and Missouri. A discrepancy of 1,000 miles is noted in 2011, while subsequent mileage reports appear to remain consistent.
